that larger acreage is required to
keep II given number of cattle or sheep
every year. They are advocates of
fresh pastures, and they manage
their places so that all the land
shall be in pasture only few years at
time.
1t is likely that excellent permanent
pastures can be secured in some portions
of the country while they can not be
secured in others, A moist climate
like that of northwestern Europe is
very favorable to the growth of grass
and unfavorable to many other sorts of
vegetation that are likely to appear in
pastures. A severe and long-continued
drought is likely to completely kill out
several of the forage plants that are
extensively sown in this country. 1t is
difficult, If not impossible, to establish
permanent sod of most kinds OF
grasses in II place subject to severe
droughts during the hottest portions of
the year. Some soils are SO retentive
of moistue that grass will continue to
grow on them if there is no consider
able fall of rain for several months.
Others, however, part with their moist
urc very quickly, and on this account a
sod formed on them will not be lasting.
Bluegrass is most likely to form u per-
manent sod in this country, but obser-
vationsfhow that it will not succeed in
soils TINT are deficient in lime. The
gradual disintegration of the limestone
that unLerlies the soil in Kentucky and
Missouri is probably the leading cause
of the remarkable growth of bluegrass

lunatics in Russia.

Or. kovaleffski. one of the most re-
nowned of Russian physicians, professor
Mt the Kharkoff University, has made
known some serious facts relative to
lInacy in Russia. According to the
learned professor the number of lunatics
in Russia amount to at least 100, 900.
Only one-tenth can be accommodated
in asylums, or elsewhere obtain atten-
ton. DR.. Kovaleffski says that the treat
ment Of the inmates is for the greater
part defective. Rich patients alone can
obtain careful attention; the INDECENT
are too often i'll treated. The number
of really skillful doctors in the asylums
is restricted, and rational treatment is
almost out of the question. The keep
crs are for the most part rude men, who
maltreat the unfortunates If not bribed
to kindness by relatives. The nourish-
ment is insufficient and Of bad quality.
Thousands of lunatics who can not be
accommodated in public or private asy-
lums walk about at large without re-
ceiying the slightest care. One meets
them everywhere on the roads in the
country, often III used by the heartless,
and then taking theirrevenge by setting
houses on fire or mutilating childl en.--

Scientists state that water once
contaminated by sewage never becomes
purified by natural means.

that the fatty matter of wool may be
transformed into substance, which
has been named "ccroid," having the
consistency and several properties Of
wax.--Boston Bndget.
--Spectroscopic observations give n
different composition for variable stars
at different periods, thus indicating
that the variability results from the
combustion of different substances.
Flour barrels made from paper

pulp can be made from common marsh

According to Prof Dufour, one of
the proofs-a new one-of the roundness
of the earth consists in the reformation
of images produced on large surfaces of

gallons. 1t will furnish 100 gallons of
water daily to each person in Il city of
over 3,000,0 900 inhabitants, and will put
back the project of drawing water from
Lake Champlain and the Adirondack
region for the next forty or fifty years.
